Abercombie & Fitch FIRES New Spokesperson After Less Than A Month

Nah - he's a spokesperson and didn't go through his social media? He should be fired for being so stupid - just on that alone.

This is the problem where people need to comment on anything and everything around them - particularly when they are high or drunk or tired or pissed off or whatever.

He did it to himself. And I don't believe him - that's the most important part.

Sorry, he was a MODEL? Yeah - fat, bad skin. This was no model and he's still an asshole.

Nobody wants to look at that...ugh

R2 A&F were going to pivot from superficial and shallow twink models to REAL PEOPLE

What;s wrong with that?

As they said about Moe the bartender,

“We want tv ugly....not ugly ugly!” We want Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island ugly!”

That side of beef is ugly ugly.

fat dumb bum

I used to work at A&F in the late 2000s I miss the old bitchy attitude, the attractive coworkers, the Sean Cody looking college graduates turned manager (at my store), and the catalogues. XL was the largest size for men, only L for woman.

Our unofficial motto for anyone that didn't fit the mold...

You know how bitchy fats can be..

A&F had its own image problems

Um - there's real people and then there are fat gingers with bad skin.

R10 you know that most of America is obese, right?

Abercrombie used to have regular sizes. I still have large shirts from them that are baggy but if I went there today an xl would be a tit hugger. Their jeans are never above a size 32. I have aged out of AnF clothes anyway but damn they had a target market - twinks. Even funnier if you work for AnF corporate you HAVE to wear AnF clothes at work, Imagine trying to squeeze into those shirts being a fat ass exec.

R4 doesn't seem to know what a twink is.

What a disaster.

If Dove soap can showcase fat chicks, A&F can show this guy.

God I hope he didn't wear flipflops to work.

r2 Male plus-size modeling is a new thing.

He can always fall back on his previous career: Competitive Eating.

Gay men shouldn’t be racist.

In a nutshell: You fucked up a paying gig, fatty!

His fur is sexy

But everyone’s a little bit racist.

Yet if he were a black, female, Muslim member of Congress from Minneapolis, he’d be celebrated and defended by people like R1. It’s really funny how some “racists” can be outed while others are celebrated.

Both of my children worked for Abercrombie and Fitch; it was their first job. My daughter is 6 feet tall and a size 3/4, my son is 6"3. Both got asked to work there while shopping and walking through the mall.

He's white and gay and fat.

And jobless.

Has he responded after his desperate attempts to save his job failed?

Are fat people more racist?

Way to play yourself, my man!

"Gay men shouldn’t be racist."

Yeah, because the Muslims, blacks, Mexicans, Asians. love us.

Fat and ugly, he won't be missed.

BUT what he said about jada pinkett smith is true.....

Further proof that the sins of social media past will bite you in the ass one day.

Think twice before you share something on social media with your social media account attached to it.

He better not be getting that extra $600 a week from the stimulus package. He would be making more than me and I still have my job.

Before his fall from grace...

[quote]And I just want you guys to know, I don’t agree with any of that stuff that I said.

Rocket scientist, he.

And let me point out the obvious: he's not even an attractive large man. There are plenty of big men who are far more handsome and photogenic.

He claimed to be healthier now that he is heavier.

Happier days...

When he had a salary...

He's REALLY nothing special even at a smaller size. I don't get the appeal.

This video is very telling. He is twitching like crazy. He was really terrified about losing his job.

He got caught and is totally freaking out. There's no penitence here yet. He is desperately trying to save his job.

He talks like an Elementary school student here, unlike the sarcasm he used in his racist posts.

Sad white gay.

Getting torn up in the comments which he, surprisingly, did not cut off. Last week he had all comments turned off.

[quote]What kills me is that most of the people on here who are telling him it’s okay, we understand, we forgive you, are white. His agency should immediately drop him. Abercrombie and Weight Watchers should also “cancel” him. He is an entitled white man who is only sorry because he got caught.👎

One of my high school seniors was selected to be an AF catalogue model back when they were pretty much soft porn nudes. Well, his photo was him completely naked with a large sword in front of his privates. Wasn't sure what the product was. He came back from the shot and I asked him how it was. He told me they made him shave his pubes and his chest, because they didn't want anyone with body hair and, since he was so " exposed, they didn't want hair " down there." It actually was a very nice photo, but I still don't know what article of clothing they were trying to sell.

In Mexico in February before the FALL...

His mistake was that he didn't a) clean up his social media history before the ink dried on that contract or b) created content of having learned from his past mistakes, creating a narrative of having seen the light after walking in the dark for so long and share his quest for "genuine" redemption on social media. Of course, that works best when you know others willing to participate who can help you to establish this new narrative.

[quote] clean up his social media history before the ink dried on that contract

Even if he did that, people remembered his past comments and though it would have taken work to dig up, they could find it - nothing gets erased off the internet

I actually think he's hot. His comments were shitty but a lot of people make shitty comments online. I think they are right to fire him as spokesperson though.

he's quite attractive as a bear cub, if he "tighten up his diet" and grew more actual musculature he would be quite the alpha stud i think...

Color Me Southern Magazine are always looking for new cover models..

How about this one?

Yeah I prefer the the A&F from the 90s and 2000s. This former Abercrombie model wouldn't make me want to go anywhere near the store.

^ Those were the days. No uglies. No fatties. Sigh..

He's more my type than those skinny shaved skeletons. Furry chubby guys ars sexy.

R50.. the ONLY guy who is great looking in that photo is the guy on the farthest right and only his face shown with the combed swept up to the side hair... great looking face...

The Grammy comment is the truly racist one.

A baby’s Ashton Kutcher is in that photo. Not his best look, but he has a very handsome face.

Sorry, THESE are A and F models.

I wouldn't buy A and F clothes to make me look like the fired " model." I could go to TJMaxx, buy any shit, and look like him.

That is pretty much male perfection on display at R56. Everything a young man should be, or aspire to be. And what male models need to look like.

Not enough blonds for my taste, but that's nitpicking.

Perfection.

Is there any chance that the A&F stores were just fronts for escort rings to pimp out there supposed “employees?”

Nothing gets by you, R59.

Nothing this chubby dude said was remotely racist. At most it was ill informed and just an opinion. Many perceive BLM as a racist organization. It's their right to do so.

Of course prissy jealous fem queens were gonna go after whatever thing he said in the past. Of course.

[quote] Nothing this chubby dude said was remotely racist. At most it was ill informed and just an opinion. Many perceive BLM as a racist organization. It's their right to do so.

Him expressing his ill-informed opinions made him no longer a match for the company's brand. That's why he got fired. The same way some people don't get hired when they have pictures on their social media that are not suitable for the potential employee's brand.

Companies, and celebrities, take their brand very seriously and don't take it very kindly when someone threatens that fragile, long-time crafted, established brand.

Peak homoeroticism

My parents somehow never noticed 12 year old me ordering and stacking these tomes in my room. I kinda wish I hadn't thrown them out...

I thought BLM was outed as a foreign-backed operation. No?

A&F has a LONG racist history, sticking minorities in the back while keeping the front of the stores all white.

He fits right in

[quote] I thought BLM was outed as a foreign-backed operation. No?

No

R66 Was there a Rosa Parks of A&F who defied the odds and worked the door? We need some new heroes for Black History month.

For the umpteenth time, I do not understand why anyone in the public eye (that is, is under public scrutiny) is on social media.

It's not worth it.

R69 these are comments he posted when he WASN'T in the public eye - He was "discovered" by the company, but it was others who dug it his past comments.

[quote] For the umpteenth time, I do not understand why anyone in the public eye (that is, is under public scrutiny) is on social media. It's not worth it.

Why? My social media is clean as a rubber duck. It works really well for me. I think about everything I tweet or instagram. It's all for show.

I sae my real thoughts for DL and a fake Facebook profile I have to say what I want to say.

When will people realize that no one gives a shit about what you say or post on social media, except you?

It’s just an exercise in narcissism.

How does one create a fake Facebook profile. I had one for a short while but then Facebook blocked it for being a fake

So R71 is famous? Or thinks she is?

I think what r71 points out is that you never know what the future will bring. You might become famous and may get access to opportunities that you didn't think of before. Then all of a sudden your social media presence is under scrutiny.

How is A&F even still a thing? They should go out of business...like Sears.

A&F brand Hollister is still very popular with Gen Z.

Get a pre-paid sim card, they're available for as little as $8 bucks, make sure they're compatible with your device, some are compatible to specific models, but a 10 buck prepaid sim usually works on most iphones and Android devices.

Don't use temporary emails to create your facebook, as their AI goes after them. Get yourself a legit gmail. If you feel paranoid, use a VPN chrome extension. Either way it will ask you to confirm your email through SMS so you use the sim card you got it. Then, with gmail ready create your facebook with it and don't forget to confirm it again through sms. Confirming your account with a number will allow you to create a unique facebook username url, so do it too. It helps legitimize the whole thing.

Then, google 'this person does not exist', fake AI profile pictures or download from google store a random face AI generator. I did it and downloaded 40 faces I could use as my social media fakes. Don't worry they're all AI generated so they don't actually exist and you're not using anyone's image.

I'd suggest filling your facebook completely with fake info but let only a couple of infos open to the public like your hometown and current town or current town/college education (choose some state school that's big), make sure they're different. The reason I chose these two infos out, as well as my political position is that this is what will show if someone hovers over the mouse on my profile as they read my comments. I use this profile only to comment on Buzzfeed, The Atlantic, Daily Beast, the trades, etc.

Make sure to lock your friends list, timeline and all information, though it's important they're filled out, as the AI will read it as a private person who actually is there. I never add anyone to my friends list, so far it hasn't been a problem. My old fake profile, made with a temporary email and few info was 3 years old when it got shut down by Facebook's AI.

There you have it. My Facebook also has links to my fake twitter account (which is set to private, so I can follow hot guys who post porn online of themselves) and my Instagram account, also set to private and that I use to browse and stalk people.

My current fakebook account has been up since august 2019, so far so good. I've been reported twice for commenting on some trans issue (big surprise!) but have since tried not to stir shit up.

My plan is to get a new one every two years or so at the cost of 10/12 bucks. No biggie. It's worth the effort, to express myself without any restrains, like we do it here. I can't stress enough how important to my isolation it has been to be present on social media without the pressures of showing my face.

PS; don't make a female account, you'd be hit every time by random guys and it's not worth it. Even if you're black I's suggest creating a white male account. it's the safest out there, unless you want to express yourself as a POC.

Ironic since he himself was an affirmative action hire to put it bluntly. I guarantee most people aren't jerking it to this pics. However, his comments weren't really that offensive.

It's insane in 2020 not to know the importance of a public filter. There are plenty of things I say in private among friends that I'd never say on social. Twitter is not your diary.

His nudes are on LPSG

Something tells me his "P" isn't as "L" as the rest of him, R80.
